I really hate the "why would anyone want this?!?" argument as well. I am not quadriplegic, but I absolutely want the functionality it provides.
That being said: No fucking way am I putting a closed-source, black-box, always-listening device in my house. A lot of the current home-automation concepts are amazing, but we keep implementing them in the shittiest way possible.
We really need better open, secure, upgradeable, hackable, adjustable systems for it to really take off.
